Question Bumpers poles?

Im guessing you want this so you can navigate while wheeling without hitting your bumpers..........but those pole things wont last long at all, and they will look stupid. Please dont. Either learn your rig, or get a spotter...........

Agreed - DO NOT INSTALL THE POLES!!
Unless you customized your JK to have 18 wheels, do not do that.
I see it like this: If you bust up your stock bumpers, it gives you a reason to get a beefier one.

I guess it's a consensus; no flags. BTW, I have no idea where to get them if you insist.

Okay not that I think it is a good idea but I have seen these on Big Rigs w/o the flags. I think they are called curb feelers (I also know they have then that stick down and I may have the name wrong). I would look at the local Truck Stop. You could also modify a bicycle flag for this purpous. I agree in certian situations it would be handy especially if you like me are offroad alone. (I know not a good idea)
